I don't know you but I'd say no one you know is a committed public steward. However plenty of those exist outside of your bubble.

I have friends who ran for and won local and federal offices. I specifically called out state because it’s min-maxing the power-honor trade-off.

Local and federal offices are also, if not more, lucratively profitable. Maybe it's not about some Platonic notion of power-seeking behavior but rather small people pursuing their own small monopolies.
